Rosehaven Inn

In 27 years I have never been on a vacation. Yes I have traveled to different countries but that was all worked related. Finally I got to to have my get away. I didn't go to some tropical beach or Europe. I find a litte bed and breakfast in Haines Fall, NY which is two and half hours away from the city. The house is amazing and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. My room has a queen size four poster bed and fire place. The bath room has a stand alone shower and a whirlpool tub. The tub is the best part. I got in it last night with my glass of wine and almost fell asleep. FYI don't drink and sit in the tub for an hour and then try to get up quickly.

This place is amazing and it just so quiet and peaceful. I want to make this my spot for all my get aways. I am so glad that I took the opportunity to do something like this for myself. Prior to the Navy I wasn't allowed to go out unaccompanied and after joining I had the boys. Having the boys living far away from me meant that anytime I had time off was to be spent going to NY to see them. Now that I am back home I can plan trips and not feel bad because I do get to spend all that time with them.

I am looking outside the window and there is freshly fallen snow outside. It makes it look so serene. It reminds me of a painting by Thomas Kincaid. At breakfast I got to speak to the owner and she is wonderfully charming woman. She has two masters and was an analyst for the state of New York social services officer prior to running Inn's. She opened the Inn in Dec of 2003. The house itself is about 100 years old is fairly large compares to the other houses surrounding it. She bought the house in 2000 and conducted renovations on it for about three years. The town itself is quaint and just feels like a place you can call home. It is a drastic difference between here and the city. You have no choice but to slow down and just enjoy the beauty. The owner told me the best time is in the spring when it rains because after the rain stops the color are vibrant and are so inviting. She says when you go for a walk you can see waterfalls in all the little nooks.

This is a great place to relax and to clear your head. You can get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax. Cell phones do not get much service so you know that you will have an uniterrupted stay here. I am so in love with the house. I would only hope to be able to have my first home look as lovely this. Well I am off to take some pictures.
